Great video! I too try to make deep comparison between language and its payload and various other systems, and it's neat how one comes upon similar points of emphasis, regardless of the exact subject of comparison. I also appreciate the effort placed in small elements of humor comprehensible I imagine only to those who spend hours thinking about tables of linguistic correspondence, or the rules of overloading of operator morphemes for a given dialect of a language. There's my smudged-out gloss on your future clay tablet.
A lot of people believe that natural languages are fundamentally flawed, apparently based on the assumption that if they don't know the purpose of a given linguistic feature, then it probably has no purpose. To me this seems like a bizarre assumption, especially given the ample evidence that languages are heavily adapted to the needs of their speakers. Maybe they hear "natural" and they imagine something created without human reasoning, like a natural mineral formation.
also connor can i suggest making some youtube shorts about language? little clips of language information would be cool and could help your channel grow
Going through a world of sad debris Regard quixotic reveries of ownership The blossoming disease of man called tenure and accretion The ancient western treadmill of deception and derision But I want something more Racing through a life of tragic wastage I experience the loss of trust and innocence The billowing cyclone of time has blown away our reasons As we trudge like blind men forward trying to avoid collision But I want something More
4:00 I'm not sure if it's the way he phrased, it, but what he said here makes it feel like he's never had a conversation with a real person before. If something is irrelevant to a conversation, brains (or at least mine) tend to wonder why they said the irrelevant thing, and thus focus on that, possibly asking the other party why it was said.

As soon as you publish your language, it's no longer yours. It's for the world to share and mashup however they want... and that's a good thing.
Oh my I was expecting a funny language video not an existential crisi
Wow
Thank you
the end of the video made me tear up a little bit omg
I spent hours binging this channel today and was like damn I wish there was more. Lo and behold I refresh the page and see this! Yay
Zamn this language video got feelings

There is despair in death (for you and your language are doomed to die) but there is hope as well (for Fr*nch and D*nish will die as well)
Language is just wavy air.
No way did my eyes actually water at the end.
Language is a meme. Good video
awesome video! gave me that kursgezagt existential crisis feeling

Does this make conlangs the language equivalent of GMOs?
Every language is a conlang. Some have just had more time to develop and diverge
This is a brilliant way to put it!
finaly new wideow
Considering languages are living & current things is important for language documentation/reclamation/revitalization.
What if I already have the northern cities vowel shift? Should I front my vowels even more?
Then Brother, you are set in life. Keep on Ope’ing, my friend.
Going through a world of sad debris
Regard quixotic reveries of ownership

But I want something more
Racing through a life of tragic wastage
I experience the loss of trust and innocence
The billowing cyclone of time has blown away our reasons
As we trudge like blind men forward trying to avoid collision
But I want something
More
Truly beautiful.
SO DEEP Ẅ
connor time :D
Yay
okay so the first minute of the vid gave me a panic attack, thanks for that

You're right, I never have had a conversation with a real person before, I have autism and don't understand how other peoples brains work

Where is the morality? I only see biology?
morTality
Funnily enough, given the biological standards for life, bees, ants, and other such insects are mostly non living
The definition isn't really the best
What criteria do they lack?
